Actually, I'm sorta  intrigued by this concept......how much do you really remember about your life?

Yeah, because I want a sensationalistic television producer digging around my friends and family for intimate details about my life to broadcast on network television.

Sadly, there are enough attention whores out there that it will be a huge hit.

How exciting, though, that they made the "s" in Amnesia a "$." It's about time someone tried that again.

One note on this and the lie-detector one: remember how Chuck Barris refused to give away big prizes on "Newlywed Game" because it made the contestants meaner to each other? Seems like the limiter is coming off.

I hear they wanted to use a regular S, but the dollar sign now allows a way to zoom through a hole in the logo.

Oh, hell, is this NOT a show I'd want to play.  On a pretty regular basis my college room mate reminds me of things we said or did and I've got no recollection of.

(And I spent the whole four years sober!)

I just can't see or even phathom anyone having any recollections of their past is gonna give them money.  Then again, some people have good memories & some don't.  I just hope those contestant coordinators weed out any suspicious characters that try to minipulate a game that could otherwise rob them of experiencing all the benefits of being there.

My only nitpick would be using Chumbawumba's "Amnesia" song as their theme song.  I can just imagine that.
